D-backs' Young hungry for more

Center fielder is striving to return to the playoffs in '08

Chris Young wants every season to be like his rookie year with the Diamondbacks, who reached the NL Championship Series.

"It was very exciting. We didn't know what to expect. We came in against the Cubs, and the team played great," told MLBPLAYERS.com in a recent Players Talk show. "There's nothing like the playoffs. After you go there one time, next season that's all you think about. You understand what you're working for, and it all makes a little more sense now."

Young is among the brightest young stars in Arizona, a team filled with young talent, earning them the nickname, "Baby Backs" in 2007. The multi-skilled Young hit 32 homers and stole 27 bases as a rookie and hopes to build on that solid base this season.
